The Lido, western quadrant

The Lido, located on the south side of Royal Esplanade in Ramsgate, is a sunshelter that has been converted into a cafe. It was designed by Basil C. Deacon and constructed between 1928 and 1929. The building features a rendered exterior with a pantiled roof and consists of a quadrant shape with side pavilions. It is a single-storey structure with a nine-bay arcade supported by Doric columns, which are set in antis. The arcade includes a frieze and a projecting cornice with modillions, as well as pavilions that have return hipped roofs. The central part of the arcade is distinguished by a projecting feature topped with a parapet. Each pavilion has boarded doors with flanking lights, and the doorways are adorned with cornices. The arcade bays are fitted with metal traceried French doors and rectangular fanlights. At the rear, there is a service block that projects outwards. This structure is part of Basil C. Deacon's Westcliff improvements and is paired with a similar quadrant pavilion and bandstand, which is now a boating pond.
